Release time 2025-03-06 07:41:14

Blue Mountain Law Firm occupies the entire 19th and 20th floors of this Grade A office building, covering over a thousand square meters. The decoration is simple and elegant. The front desk is located on the 19th floor. As soon as you walk in, you’ll see a spacious and bright reception area. Further inside are dozens of meeting rooms of various sizes for daily client meetings, as well as offices for human resources, administration, finance, and technology. 。There is a direct staircase leading to the 20th floor inside. The floors above are divided into different lawyer offices based on their areas of expertise. 。Their Business Group’s office is right next to Lan Xiao Shan’s office. 。From her observations over the past few days, Lan Xiaoshan wasn’t at the law firm working. Unless there were special circumstances, he usually came in around 10 am and left by 12 pm at noon. 。So she didn’t expect, before 9 o’clock, to meet in the elevator <<< 。
The receptionist and Guo Ran, who was clocking in at the front desk, also found it strange. 。Lan Xiaoshan rarely comes to the law firm this early, and he even came out of the elevator with Shu Tinglan. This makes people wonder what’s going on. 。And Lan Xiaoshan, because of the voice just now, was in an extremely bad mood. He ignored the greetings from the receptionist and Guo Ran, and walked straight to the 20th floor. 。Shu Tinglan clocked in and walked silently towards the 20th floor. Although they were very unfamiliar with each other, Guo Ran and others mistakenly understood it as pretending to be strangers, covering their ears and stealing bells. 。This confirmed their suspicions about her and Li Anna. 。I immediately sent a message to Li Anna. 。Li Anna was looking at her information when she saw Shu Tinglan enter the office. She was bundled up from head to toe, though the office had warm air circulating and it was rarely necessary to wear a high-necked sweater in there. 。
Everyone who has been through it knows at a glance, and their eyes can’t help but flash with a hint of mockery. Heh, beautiful single mothers, the best at navigating this kind of thing between men and women. Li Anna believes she understands this all too well. 。On the other hand, Xiao Xin was puzzled because she had never seen Shu Lawyer wear a turtleneck since they met. Shu Lawyer has a swan neck and is very beautiful. 。Perhaps Xiaoxin’s vision was too pure, Shu Tinglan awkwardly tugged at his collar and explained: The weather is cold. 。 。Li Anna: There’s no silver here, three hundred taels!
Clearing her throat, she was ready to get to work. 。“Ms. Shu, did you see the materials the team sent yesterday about the case where Xin Yue Daily Chemical Company was sued for false advertising?” “Yes.” 。”I just skimmed it, haven’t read it carefully yet, when someone interrupted me.” 。”This case, I’m afraid it needs you to follow up. The other lawyers have a lot of cases on their hands and can’t spare the time.” 。”Such consumer lawsuits alleging false advertising, Li Anna naturally wouldn’t take on. Her lawyers beneath her also didn’t look down on such cases, she pushed it to Shu Tinglan” 。Shu Tinglan had just arrived at Lanshan Law Firm and didn’t have many clients. It was a good opportunity for Xiao Xin to gain some experience, so she readily agreed. 。
Li Anna has been under a lot of pressure lately. The Chinese New Year is approaching soon, and she hasn’t finished her work for the entire year. This is also why Lan Xiaoshanning would rather leave the position of business partner vacant than promote her. She just needs a little more performance to prove herself. So, she has to find some big clients to cooperate with. She doesn’t have time to deal with small clients, so she passed them on to Shu Tinglan. 。She learned from colleagues in other departments that Zuo Yuan Technology’s national agency was changing its legal team, so she planned to go for it and secure the contract. That way, her performance for the next year would be basically guaranteed. 。。As for Li Anna’s little tricks, Shu Tinglan naturally knew about them. In her opinion, this was human nature and very normal, but Xiao Xin felt a little unfair, after all, in her eyes, Lawyer Shu was the best, how could she be wronged? 。Shu Tinglan quoted a popular internet saying to comfort her: “If you’ve seen the stars and the sea, how could you care about the little gossip in a pond?”
Actually, the reason is simple. If you truly want to walk this path for a long time, you should focus your eyes on something higher and farther away, instead of being confined by the petty disputes in front of you. 。Xiao Xin understood the reasoning, but she didn’t have Shu Lawyer’s open-mindedness. She was still a little indignant and wanted to say something more. Shu Tinglan glanced at her and commanded, “Work.”Seeing her sternness, Xiao Xin didn’t dare speak again. She calmed down and devoted herself to work, starting to research related information about the new lunar day chemical products. 。Actually, Shu Tinglan had also heard about the fact that Zhuoyuan Technology’s general agency company was going to change its legal counsel. She originally planned to get in touch and see if she could get the job because she had an advantage – this matter didn’t need to go through Zhuo Yunan at all; she could contact Zhang, the legal affairs lawyer of Zhuoyuan directly. However, since Li Anna, her teammate, had contacted the other party first, she chose not to engage in unhealthy competition within the team and proactively gave up on the Zhuoyuan general agency client. 。Out of a sense of responsibility for the commercial group, she proactively asked Li Anna if she needed help and even brought up that she knew the legal department of Zhuoyuan Technology and could introduce them. 。But Li Anna was arrogant and looked down on Shu Tinglan, who came from a small law firm in the city. She had seen Shu Tinglan’s resume, but because at that time, HR Guo Ran only showed her the first page of the resume, Li Anna did not see Shu Tinglan’s past work experience, including her involvement in the Zuo Yuan Technology acquisition case. Her focus was only on the fact that Shu Tinglan was divorced and had two children. 。So even though Shu Tinglan proactively mentioned knowing a lawyer from Zhuoyuan Technology who could help with an introduction, Li Anna scoffed. Thinking that Zhuoyuan Technology’s legal team was large and she only knew one small lawyer within it, she couldn’t see how much help he could be. She even wondered if he was trying to get involved in this client as well to take a share of the pie? She immediately refused: “Lawyer Shu, thank you, but we don’t need it for now. We have already met with Wang, the general manager of the general agency.” 。What I’m trying to say is that I’ve already spoken to the person in charge, so you can give up on your plans. 。
“Good” 。Shù Tīng Lán then fell silent. 。
The general agency company, in fact, doesn’t belong to Zhuoyuan Technology. It simply survives by relying on Zhuoyuan Technology’s products. Because of this, Wang, the general manager of the general agency, is extremely careful with Zhuoyuan Technology. When Zhang, a lawyer from Zhuoyuan Legal Affairs, said their consultant lawyer was unprofessional, Wang immediately made a big fuss about changing the legal team. 。After consulting with Zhang, the lawyer, Zhang recommended Wang to Bluesky Law Firm. 。When Wang heard about Lanshan Law Firm, he knew it well. They had worked together when his company went public on the NASDAQ. 。
